Abstract
This report is about the housing market of Malmö and Lund and the main cause is to see what determines the choice of living. The facts that will be shown during the progress of our work, is the tenants’ expectations of their chosen form of living. This investigation is based on the high number of rented flats that are converted into cooperative flats today. We are to find out which of these forms of living you prefer as a tenant and why. As we go on, we will further investigate what expectations people have and how these take place and at the same time investigate the tenants’ experienced pros and cons of each form of living. Our method of the investigation was an extensive survey. Our goal was to get 100 people in Malmö and Lund to participate in the survey and contribute with their thoughts and opinions in the matter. The results we got when the survey was analyzed was that the corporative flat was the most preferred way of living. The next thing that became a fact in our analysis was that the expectations of the corporative flats were the highest among the given forms of living. The tenants believe in increasing housing prices and better standard in terms of connecting with the neighbours. The rented flat is seen as an option if you want to use all the service that the landlord provides, which doesn’t come with the corporative flat.
